The game will probably either be a Jackets win or another episode of the massively entertaining Elias Pettersson show.

Looking forward to it.

Boeser is offended by luck of recognition from you, major. Not pleased, at all.

He's all shot, not as fun to watch. I won't enjoy seeing him beat us as I would Elias.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

I suspect the Jackets will come out flying. If they don't, something's seriously wrong. May not matter if the goalies continue to struggle.

 

[MAHJ71]

The Canucks are not a pushover anymore... Jackets better wake up in a hurry.

I want 2 points

 

[Monk]

I'd like the Jackets to dish out a solid ass beating tonight. The home crowd deserves it.

Bjorkstrand-Wennberg-Duclair is a new line according to Hedger. Thoughts?

It keeps Torts from having to mix the lines up after the first ten minutes when one of them makes a mistake. This way he can just bench the whole line.

Worth a look. I didn't like Dubinsky and Wennberg together.

I don't know, multi-goal leads make us all nervous now. Maybe not a good idea to start a beatdown.

The "doghouse line"?................

 

[onetimerguy]

The "doghouse line"?................

I think if you want a more balanced set I'd go Bjork-Jenner-Anderson and CaptainNick-Weeny-Duke.

Considering we lost to them twice last season...yeah

We got bludgeoned by them at home. I was there, unfortunately. And in Vancouver we were getting blown out by Jussi Jokinen until 3-4 goals in the final 1:30 or something crazy to take us into OT.

wennberg will look to pass. Torts will find duclair and bjorkstrand to be defensively deficient

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

wennberg will look to pass. Torts will find duclair and bjorkstrand to be defensively deficient

Torts will encourage Wennberg to pass (EDIT: gah, shoot I mean!), thus making him 1/3 right and 2/3 wrong 45 seconds at a time.

T-Minus 2 Hours and 45 minutes until someone comments on the quiet NWA crowd. A ton of tickets on TM. I doubt they break 13,500.

 

[MoeBartoli]

In either case I'm thinking we will need at least 4 - maybe 5 - goals to win tonight.

 

[MAHJ71]

Agreed.

My first thought was man, tonight would be a good night for Korpi to suddenly cut down on his goals against average.

For the first time in years I won one of those text entry contests and got tickets to the game. Have 1 extra if someone doesn’t mind sitting next to myself and coworker/spouse. Not sure what section or if upper/lower bowl yet (email said depends on availability).

Alas, I have existing commitments.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Agreed.

I fixed this for you

 

[Viqsi]

I fixed this for you

All too apropos, unfortunately.

For now, I'm going to sit here and irrationally hope that switching Shaw and Larsen back will produce immediate miracles that will carry us all the way to the SCF. And call for firing everybody if this hope is disappointed.

...well, okay, maybe I'll skip that last part.

 

[Old Guy]

Very favorable odds for Old Guy to be in the House Saturday evening. First home game in years.

Quack-Quack.
